SO MANY GREAT THINGS AHEAD. GO THERE NOW!
It’s been awhile since I’ve said anything on here. Life has been a little chaotic lately and by “a little”…
I actually mean a lot.
We’ve officially reached the thirties in the wedding countdown. It’s a little bit crazy how the time has been going by so quickly. Days are filled with school, design work, sessions, painting, unpacking, and rearranging. Exciting times.
But what is sure to make me giggle every week is when “the kids” ask quirky questions.

how many days until your wedding?
what does your dress look like?
are you going to have chicken nuggets at the reception?

Every week, I just smile and laugh. The kids are so excited. I am so excited. This past weekend, they surprised us with a little party: cupcakes, chips, and the ever so awesome green punch. They also made us cards. Hand drawn cards. (My favorite kind.) Even some of the boys made cards. (Way to go guys!) Some of the boys thought it was our birthday. (We still love you.)
Words of affirmation is one of my primary love languages. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked over these cards. All the little details. The little hearts, cakes, us, wedding bells… adorable. Full of love.
Speaking of the countdown…
Now playing [Spotify Links]it was a saturday afternoon.
the weather was much like today.
drizzly, cold, windy.
snow was in the forecast.
water droplets glistened from the trees.
we had the only carriage ride that day.
with two strong soggy horses.
the driver wore a top hat.
he held me sweetly and close.
the estate seemed ever so quiet.
he whispered sweet things in my ear.
then got down on one knee.
“i want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
my eyes swelled with tears of joy.
“will you marry me?”
it seems like only yesterday.
but it was one year ago today.
i’m so excited about many more years.
a lifetime. together.
♥
everything is changing so fast, and I’m afraid I can’t keep up.
therefore
I will hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection.

seriously. where has this year gone? it seems like yesterday that my sweetheart proposed and now the wedding is around five months away. (oh, if you are a june bride, check my calendar for availability. eeee!) I’ve spent this week reflecting on this past year and dreaming of next year. I’m challenging myself to grow… artistically, spiritually, and emotionally.
and though it’s not the end of 2011 yet, I want to thank you all for being so wonderful. thank you for believing in me and allowing me to capture moments that are near and dear to your heart as well as mine. I’m looking forward to taking a little bit of a winter break, but I will continue to photograph sessions as long as it isn’t super freezing outside. officially though, I am now booking sessions for mid-March. for session information, just contact me!
I look forward to hot chocolate, snow, and hearing from you!
